We picked Goddard due to the positive reputation the Hendersonville location gained. Unfortunately,…read morewe did not get to experience that same treatment and had our final day today, after only 1.5 months. Aside from frequent minor issues, the decision was easily made when speaking to one of the directors, Morgan, about a concern we had. Our 4-month-old was not fed for 5 hours (until we got home). The daily report had a false entry of a feeding within those 5 hours, which is likely why the teachers thought not to feed. After being given many questionable excuses, Morgan concluded that our baby fell asleep right before being fed. And when he woke up, he was in line to eat behind other babies, but we ended up picking him up. So, within the 5 hours, he napped 1 hour, and we picked him up 40 minutes after he woke up. You can do the math there. But wouldn't this mean that he should be first in line to eat? Why is he waiting to be fed for so long? She then told me that the teachers were aware that he needed to eat, which is not what the teachers told me over the phone. Another reason I didn't believe Morgan was because the teachers have been amazing with notifying me of such things during pick up or over the phone. Morgan must not think very highly of the teachers to be saying that to me. Morgan asked me what can she do here? - You're the director. I would have been much more appreciative and remained in Goddard if you honestly told me that the teachers followed the false entry, and that you will take xyz actions to prevent that and regain our trust in Goddard. Instead, you were not trying to solve anything and simply put the blame on a short nap and us coming in to pick up. Other daycares ensured me there is no such thing as having a baby wait in line to eat, because they have floater staff. Mistakes happen and I fully understand that. But the call with Morgan made me feel that my baby is not a priority to you. No one followed up with me or did anything to try and correct the situation. I'm happy to provide details to anyone who would like to learn more and decide for themselves.

Goddard also does so many wonderful things in the community as well. It is really a wonderful little school.

I was highly recommended Kiddie Academy from a moms fb group so I scheduled a tour. My family and I…read moremoved here from out of town so we really had no idea what to expect. However, when we got there 15 minutes prior to our scheduled time the director was nowhere to be found and we were just sitting there. I finally asked the lady at the front desk when we could meet with the director and she told me she was not there, but still at her son's doctor appt. I totally understood that, however, she asked me to reschedule for later so of course, I said yes. I received confirmation to my phone and then another notification saying the staff was out due to a stomach bug or something like that. I understand. However, after that I expected to get a call from the director or the school to reschedule once again but that never happened. My intention in writing this is just for another mama to take my experience into consideration when looking for the perfect fit for their kiddos. It just seemed/s off. However, I went with my gut and found the school I was looking for AMEN!

This was by FAR the worst experience we've with a daycare. For reference, KA was our 3rd daycare so…read morefar (we recently moved to the area). Where to begin: 1. Prior to enrolling, our 2yr old was going through her 'biting' stages of toddlerhood. She had two incidents at her prior school with a long stint of no incidents after that before enrolling in KA. Once enrolled at KA, our 2yr old went on biting streak. Upon further investigation as to why this kept happening, I found out that A) the classroom was incredibly overcrowded - there was no way any amount of teachers could keep an eye on that amount of kids and B) everyday there was a new teacher in the classroom. The teacher churn was UNREAL. That tells me they don't pay their teachers jack squat and kids run the place so of course the teachers don't care. After awhile, they would start sending my 2yr old home after an incident. How the F am I supposed to pay for daycare if I also have to watch my child? I brought this up to management but they didn't care. Eventually our 2yr old was kicked out of KA. At her new school, she's had one incident of biting in 6 months. Her class has the same 2 teachers M-F and a much smaller class size. 2. KA will take any and every excuse to either close down or send your child home for the day, not just major holidays or incidents, not to mention the 2 weeks off around Christmas/New Years that you are EXPECTED to continue to pay for. Training day for teachers 2-3 times per year? Schools closed, kids stay home and you pay for it. Woke holiday? Schools closed, you pay for it. Mild storm expected? Schools closed, you pay for it. 3. This school is incredibly cheap and although the facilities are nice, good luck trying to get a refund or vacation time without escalating it past management to the owners. All in all, I would avoid unless its your only option.
